Java wrapper for the Fortran L-BFGS-B algorithm

The wrapper is a Java library proxy for the L-BFGS-B quasi-Newton optimization library. The original implementation is written in the Fortran 77 language and is available on the authors’ original distribution website. The wrapper library uses JNI with SWIG to create the proxy code. A by-product of the Java wrapper is a quite low-level C wrapper for the Fortran code. In short, the structure of the wrapping layers looks as follows: Fortran -> C -> JNI by SWIG -> Java.

The hasn’t crash-tested the Cayenne — or any other Porsche — apparently ever. Low-volume models typically go untested, and Porsche, as a brand, is low-volume. The European New Car Assessment Program, whose stringent tests provide some indication of an American model’s crashworthiness, also hasn’t tested any Porsches. The ‘s five-star program likewise hasn’t tested the Cayenne either.

The first is the car’s sheer ability. Its all-wheel-drive system puts the twin-turbo V-6 engine’s 530 horsepower to the pavement superbly. Teamed with an independent rear suspension and the grip of 20-inch high-performance summer tires, the all-wheel drive made cornering at the limits mere child’s play.

Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about
this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could
do with a few pics to drive the message home a little bit, but other
than that, this is magnificent blog. An excellent read. I will definitely be back.
